  1. Pre-Built unRAID Server - £700

     

    Hey everyone, i’m selling my first server here, which a great one to keep in the living room and prepared especially for a 2-in-1 gaming/HTPC + unRAID scenario. This is what it was used for so far and was only bought a year ago. Would rather it went to an unRAID-er here!

     

    I purchased a case and an SSD for cache in order to keep it, but realised i have no space for it, so i’d like to give it a new home. Everything has been tested and working on unRAID. You just need to add: licence, up to 8 drives and 4 more of those SilverStone cables if you’re going for an 8 drive setup. You can also add one more 2.5" Cache drive if you need.

     

    I guess i can ship to the UK or Europe, but we’ll have to talk rates. Otherwise, London pickup works best.

     

    Price: £800

     

    Let me know if you have any questions, thoughts or just want a chat.

    New Price!

  2. You left the Hyper-V option to Yes, correct?

     

    The ASMedia OPROM takes very long to find the SSD, it is fine on bare metal. Then, I can't install windows by passing through that ASMedia controller. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get past the first spinning dots, about 15 minutes to get to selecting a location to install, then it fails by saying it can't be formatted. Also, the USB controller just doesn't work at all.

     

    Everything works fine on bare metal. And i've run tests for the SSD and GPU, all fine.

     

    Without any controller passthrough, the VM would install just fine on an img on cache.

     

    PCIE ACS enabled, X10SL7-F, tried OVMF and its the same, tried Q35, same, tried hyper-v on/off, same... 6.2 Beta 20.

     

    I've just unstubbed the devices and i realised that unRAID is not seeing the SATA or USB devices attached to the controller...

     

    I am using a PCI-E Riser cable to go from my 8x into a 16x, then put this card in there. I am guessing its that pericom device which appears 3 times in my system devices. I have tried stubbing it to pass through, but it does not appear in the list of devices to pass through. Any ideas here... wonder if its because it repeats 3 times?

     

    Diagnostic attached...

     

    It would be a shame if it is the card, as its the only USB/SATA combo card i could find!

     

    Is there any diagnostic log i could look at to see why its just taking so long to do anything?
